When I worked as a movie projectionist as a young man, we did have films
with different aspect ratios to project on the same screen, and that is
how the problem was addressed.  When a narrower format was employed,
light absorbing black panels were moved in at either side of the screen to
provide a nice uniform black border around the image.  A similar masking
method could be simply employed for the vertical formats in stereo."

Absolutely correct!  This would solve a problem in PSA Salons as well.  More and more people
are moving to twin full frame rigs.  I think it is a shame to crop down to seven or five perfs
when submitting so instead the wide formats should be shown if the projector allows it.  It
would be great if all salons had a new RBT projector to handle the wide formats but if they do
not then they should allow wider formats but mask them using light absorbing black panels.
As far as cards go, I think larger formats should also be accepted. The height should be open
but the width would be best staying at 7 inches.
